Although not formally suspending his campaign, Dr. Ben Carson has chosen not to attend Thursday night’s debate following the disappointing results of Super Tuesday.

In a statement released by his campaign, Dr. Carson said, “I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening’s Super Tuesday primary results. However, this grassroots movement on behalf of “We the People” will continue.”

Dr. Carson plans to further discuss the status of his campaign later this week.
